Mar 30: He is reuniting with his frequent collaborator Neeraj Pandey for 'Naam Shabana' and actor Manoj Bajpayee said that he can relate to the filmmaker as they both have similar work values.

neerajBajpayee has worked with Pandey in his directorial venture 'Special 26', his production 'Saat Uchakkey' and a short film 'Ouch'. "Our values remain the same and we relate to each other. We know each other," Bajpayee told when asked about his chemistry with Pandey.

Calling the director a 'genius', the actor said, "He has the ability to take a real story and put it out in a manner which is very appealing."

Pandey's production 'Naam Shabana' has been directed by Shivam Nair. "It is the story of a simple girl becoming extraordinary. It is a very unique, mainstream film," Bajpayee said.

Apart from 'Naam Shabana', Bajpayee will be also seen in 'Sarkar 3', 'Missing' and 'Love Sonia.'

In his over 20-year career, Bjapayee has given notable performances in films like 'Satya', 'Kaun', 'Shool', 'Zubeidaa', 'Pinjar', 'Raajneeti', 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and the recent 'Aligarh'.

The actor said he has evolved as an actor over the years. "I have my own method but I don't have only one method. When you are evolving as a person, you also evolve as an actor. In acting, when your understanding abut the real person and life evolves, your method also evolves."

When asked how he prepares himself for a role, the actor said, "I look at script. I keep changing from film to film. During the shoot of some films, I don't talk to anybody. For some others I keep laughing. For some films I go back to the script again and again, and for some (other scripts) I read for 6-7 times and then I don't go through the script any more."

Bajpayee said his 1998 crime drama 'Satya' changed film making in Bollywood. "From Anurag Kashyap to Neeraj Pandey all were inspired by 'Satya' in a way. All are fantastic directors."

Mumbai, Jul 28: Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to look into the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and direct the state police to register an FIR in this connection.

Wishing Thackeray on Monday on his birthday, Tiwari, who has acted in Bhojpuri films, pointed out that over 40 days have passed since the death of Rajput, but an FIR is yet to be registered.

"Many happy returns of the Day @CMOMaharashtra Shri Uddhav Ji, on this day I request with folded hands to give justice to Sushant who died 43 days ago, but no FIR has been registered so far. I hope you will help. Please do justice to millions of SSR fans," he tweeted.

Bollywood actor Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, which the police said was a case of suicide. His death had triggered an outcry from several quarters alleging that the late actor, who hailed from Bihar, was a victim of nepotism in the film industry.

The lawmaker from Northeast Delhi's Lok Sabha seat, who visited the deceased actor's family in Patna last month had then said: "Sushant's father and sister requested me to take up the issue and get him justice. It was really a sentimental moment for me".

Previously, Tiwari had demanded a CBI investigation into the matter

According to the police, statements of 40 people including film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra and actor Rhea Chakraborty have been recorded in the investigation so far.

Los Angeles, Jun 26: Warner Bros has moved its Christopher Nolan-directed espionage thriller Tenet from July 31 to August 12.

It's the second delay for the highly-anticipated movie, which was originally scheduled to release on July 17 but was postponed to July 31 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. is committed to bringing Tenet' to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it's time. In this moment what we need to be is flexible, and we are not treating this as a traditional movie release.

We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy, a Warner Bros spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

The studio has also delayed the US re-release of Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster Inception, in honour of the film's 10th anniversary, to July 31.

Tenet features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, Dimple Kapadia and Himesh Patel.
